| A knockout release if I've ever heard one. Hits abound on this one. Too many favorites to pick just two for a review. Hard rocking & melodic with very easily remembered tunes. I give it a 10

| A pure jewel! 'Heart of the summer' is the best song for listening driving your car in a sunny day. El 7.55 de arriba no le hace justicia.

| I hate to be the odd man out but I do not share the enthusiasm of previous posts. IMO Rainmaker was a very disappointing follow-up to the S/T. Whereas the S/T had consistently well-written and delivered tracks, Rainmaker is very hit & miss. 'What Did You Find' struck me as the only track close to S/T's caliber. There were a couple of other decent songs (i.e. 'The Heart of Summer' & 'Too Late for Love') but overall this record has only a fraction of the power and intensity of the debut.

| 'Pictures of love' is the best AOR song of all time.

| i never heard their other album, but i own this CD several years ago and i think it's a wonderful album, worth every penny you spend, really. 'Picture of Love' and 'Lonely Rooms' are sweet ballads, and the rest are outstanding hard rockin melodic songs. Go buy this ^^

| The tracks listed here are different from the cd that I own.Call of the wild and children's eyes are the tracks not on my cd.As children's eyes was a live track I prefer it not being on the cd anyhow.This is a really great AOR record.The song burning heart is the fastest track on the cd and what a belter it is.There are some excellent songs here including too late for love and heart of summer.

| Great album. Only little complaint is that the chorus of the otherwise great the Heart of Summer sounds like Don Henely's Boys of the Summer.

| This band is good, but for me they're at the bottom of the chain of excellence that comes from Germany. 'Heart of summer' is a great track, and 'Pictures of love' is great too. Just like the debut, they do nothing wrong and it's a good consistent release, but whereas bands like Casanova, Frontline, Jaded Heart, Victory and so on may not have been 1008129978erfect, they always included more stunning tracks than just plain good tracks. For me, Fair Warning have countless good tracks, but few stunners.

| This was probably their weakest moment IMO, and is more varied than the other 3 albums. But it still contains some immense tunes; 'Pictures of Love' would later appear on the Last Autumns Dream album (but is better here), 'Lonely Rooms' and 'Childrens Eyes' are prime slabs of AOR brilliance, and all the first 4 tracks are truly excellent. Is only some heavier numbers towards the end that spoil the consistency, but it's still a very good album. 8/10.

| The lowest Fair Warning's album. The sound is not AOR '80 style and the guitars and keyboards are not more refined, but rougher than before. Anyway Tommy Heart's vocals are always great and refrains are still so catchy. 7,5/10

| Oh come on guy's are you getting desperate or what, there is nothing that DESTROY'S me on this album. It seem's like a lot of 60's influence has gone into this album the vocal's I agree are good but it stops there... Dont get me wrong I dont hate it but just wont be listerning to it for about the next year or something, KEEP ROCKIN ALL!!!

| It would be fair to say that as a follow-up to the band's genre-defining debut, this was as disappointing as finding out that your husky-voiced nymphomaniacal girlfriend used to be a man. Be warned, these guys blew their load on their first outing and were unable to deliver the goods again when they climbed back on board the melodic rock train for another go-round. Expectations were high for this one and the band rained all over everyone's parade. Okay, yeah, maybe I'm making this out to be worse than it actually is, but there's no denying it's a pretty piss-poor effort, as bland and forgettable as a glass of water when what you really craved was a bottle of beer.

| This is an album that without being a killer one is yet effective and delivers the satisfaction needed...best tracks for me are "The Heart Of Summer"(catchy),"Burning Heart","Get A Little Closer","Desert Song"(strongly reminded me of the band Kingdom Come),"Pictures Of Love"(nice AOR),"Angel Of Dawn"(nice solid smooth)& "Desolation Angels"...enjoyable...85/100

| What a terrific album this is -- their best, by far, attributable mainly to the strength and consistency of the songs throughout. Great melodies with thick chorus background vocals, bolstered by some really impressive guitar arrangements. The vocalist is very reminiscent of the Scorpions' Klaus Meine (but not quite as good), and like Klaus, a tinge of German accent comes through occasionally, but nothing detracting. All the songs are highly enjoyable, but "Lonely Room," "Get A Little Closer," and "Pictures of Love" are golden. The production is solid, if a little thin (especially the drums), but that doesn't take away from the overall quality of the album. Really impressive melodic rock, a disc I can listen to straight though repeatedly. 95/100

| Very good ... standard of European (rather German) heavy rock. If you like Casanova, Bonfire, Soul Doctor or early Axxis, you'll probably like "Rainmaker" too. But all these groups (incl FW) have a common denominator that is, Reverend Mayhem also hit this point, Scorpions. The vocal as well as the structure of songs and choruses. On the other hand I must partly agree also with Rocker76 since I regard the FW's debut better than this album (mainly because of the absence of "heat of emotions" here). As I write at the beginning very good standard but that's all. 80/100.
